The middle-aged man half-squinted his lazy eyes, took out a roll of tobacco from his arms, slowly stuffed the tobacco into the cigarette stick, and then took a box of matches and wiped it for a long time without lighting it.

Looking at the middle-aged man's slow movements, he almost made Lin Yumai explode.

At last the match was lit, and he slowly approached the cigarette, but a gust of wind blew, and the match suddenly went out, and he didn't even move his eyelids, and picked up the match again and began to repeat the action of wiping the match.

"Hey, you're deliberately fooling us. Lin Yumai was not angry, Wang Zitao was angry first.

was already in a hurry to die, but this man asked for a benefit, and he didn't care about it.

The man finally lit the fire, took a few gulps, and showed an expression of great enjoyment, as if he had come to life with a long sigh.

The three of them couldn't help but curse this man in their hearts, Nima smoked or not, so ecstatic.

"Now let's talk. Lin Yumai asked.

The man snorted again, spat out the cloud smoke and said, "I didn't see it!"

"I'm grass Nima!!" Lin Yumai scolded angrily, directly angry, eager to beat this man.

If Wu Lei hadn't pulled him, this man would have died in Huangquan.

"Give us back the money. Wang Zitao said angrily.

After working for a long time, I found a liar, and what a fire came out.

"Young man, don't worry, I haven't finished my sentence yet, how can such a monkey be in such a hurry. The middle-aged man began to preach lazily again.

"Hurry your sister, human life is at stake, one more second of delay, she will be more dangerous, we don't have time to talk nonsense with you, Tao, forget it, don't be like him. Wu Lei immediately pulled Lin Yumai and Wang Zitao away.

"I didn't see what the girl you were talking about, but I saw a policewoman heading there. The middle-aged man pointed to the west side of the field.

To the west is also a field, but there is a smoking cement factory far away.

Lin Yumai looked back at the man and said angrily: "If this is false, I will definitely come back to settle accounts with you." ”

The man smiled casually, said nothing, and continued to sip his cigarette.

The three of them looked at each other and immediately headed in the direction of the cement factory.

After watching the three of them leave, the middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "Young people nowadays are terrible, they are all hot-tempered, and they were almost killed in order to get some cigarette money!"

A kid suddenly walked behind the man, and the kid looked at the man with dark eyes and asked, "Uncle, you lied to them just now." ”

"Go, I don't want to be killed!"

He glared at the kid and said, "Go, go buy me cigarettes, and buy some candy for yourself by the way." ”

……

The three of them walked quickly through the fields to the independent cement factory, where three huge chimneys billowed with smoke, making the gloomy sky even more cloudy.

As soon as he approached the cement factory, Lin Yumai smelled a very strong smell of lime powder in the air, and he noticed that the surrounding area of the cement factory, whether it was a field, a forest, a grassland or a road, was paved with a layer of gray color, like dyed with a layer of cement paint, losing the color of nature.

Walking through the back door of the cement factory, I found that there were almost no managers in the cement factory, and it seemed that they could walk in at will.

Looking at this huge cement factory, Wang Zitao muttered: "Seeing this cement factory reminds me of the experience of running to my hometown cement factory to steal scrap iron to sell when I was a child. ”

"Yes, one of the most common diseases for people who work in cement factories is lung cancer. Wu Lei said.

Lin Yumai glared at the two of them and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

He glanced at the roaring of machines in several huge factories, and from the outside, the huge bridges and conveyor belts made of steel were as amazing as huge steel monsters.

"You don't see it, there's no human breath in this factory, but the machines are working. Lin Yumai said with a solemn face.

"Can a machine still operate without a living person?" Wang Zitao said in surprise.

Lin Yumai shook his head and said, "It's not that there are no living people, it's that I can't sense the breath of people." Lin Yumai said.

As he spoke, he walked to the room of a lime mixing tank next to him, and as soon as he walked in, he saw a man lying on the ground, and he immediately stepped forward to examine this person, and found that he had passed out.

"It's the staff!" Wu Lei said.

Lin Yumai's face sank, and his eyes narrowed: "It seems that we have come to the right place." ”

"How can such a huge cement factory have 500 staff, and I can't perceive any of them, and it is obvious that they all fainted inexplicably like the whole person. Lin Yumai said.

Lin Yumai carefully examined the staff member and found that he did not have any wounds on his body, nor did he have any traces of struggle, but he was unconscious, as if he had been hypnotized by a curse.

"It seems that we have gone our separate ways, and whether we find Zirou or not, we will all meet here. Lin Yumai said with a solemn face.

Wu Lei and Wang Zitao nodded, and then the three of them entered the cement factory in three directions.

As they guessed before, there were a lot of workers who fainted in the factory, some fell to the ground, some fell to the machine, and some were extremely dangerous, almost fainting in the mixer.

Lin Yumai walked into a factory full of cement packaging, surrounded by bags of cement stacked on both sides of the plant very neatly, there are assembly lines and forklifts in the middle of the plant, but because the staff passed out, there was only the sound of the roar of the machine in the whole plant, and no movement was heard.

What made Lin Yumai feel strange was that the entire cement factory seemed to be shrouded in an enchantment, eliminating all the breath, and even if he was in it, he couldn't sense any breath.

This made him completely cut off contact with Tang Zirou, and he couldn't perceive it at all.

The more this is the case, the more he worries about Tang Zirou's safety, which comes from the panic of the unknown in his heart.

"The spirit wind comes out. ”

Lin Yumai shouted out the spirit wind.

"Is there an enchantment in this place?" Lin Yumai asked.

Lingfeng sniffed his nose, walked around the ground, and after finding that the ground was all cement ash, he jumped on Lin Yumai's body with a disgusted face, making Lin Yumai dusty.

It looked around, its eyes flashing with blue light, and after a while, he said, "You're right, there is a very strange enchantment in the entire cement factory. ”

"What's weird?"

"Perception is weakened, response is weakened, vision is weakened, action is weakened......" Reikaze said.

Lin Yumai's face changed, and he said, "How can there be such a powerful enchantment?"

The thought of a drastic weakening of perception, reactions, and actions seems to have terrible consequences, and if there is an enemy in the barrier who is not affected by the barrier, it is like a three-year-old child to deal with them.

"Those who are in this barrier do not know that their perceptual reactions have been weakened, and only those who are outside can see how stupid and ridiculous the actions of those inside. Reikaze continued.

"It seems that this level is not as simple as ordinary people, and they actually know how to arrange enchantments, which becomes troublesome. Lin Yumai said distressedly.

"If you can find the weak point of the barrier and break it, the barrier can be broken. Lingfeng said.

"This cement factory is so big, where to find the weak point of the enchantment, aren't you good at arranging the enchantment, Lingfeng, is there any way not to be restricted by this enchantment. Lin Yumai asked.

He was worried about Tang Zirou's safety, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous Tang Zirou would be, and he believed that Tang Zirou must be hiding somewhere in this cement factory now.

Lingfeng shook his head and said, "Unless I'm outside the enchantment, I still have a way to break the seal of the enchantment, and I will also be affected inside." ”

In desperation, Lin Yumai had no choice but to continue to look for Tang Zirou's traces.

I went around in this factory, and I didn't let go of any corner, and I didn't let go of any person who fainted.

It's a pity that there is no trace of Tang Zirou here.

When I walked outside the factory, I happened to see Wu Lei and Wang Zitao also walking out with a dejected face, and I knew that they didn't find Tang Zirou without asking.

"Brother Mai, will Sister Zirou not be in this factory? Wang Zitao said in frustration.

Wu Lei looked around the cement factory, and stopped at the top three huge chimneys, and he said suspiciously: "Now the three chimneys above have not been checked, do you want to go up and have a look." ”

Lin Yumai also raised his head to look at the huge chimney with billowing smoke, in fact, he knew that the chimney was used to cool the machine, and it was not smoke but water vapor that wafted out.

"In the cooling tower, the cooling water carrying the waste heat is exchanged with the air in the tower, so that the waste heat is transferred to the air and dispersed into the atmosphere. Wang Zitao said.

Lin Yumai's eyes froze, and he jumped up impatiently, flying directly towards the top of the cooling tower at the highest point.

The cooling tower is extremely tall, and standing at the top of the tower has the feeling of seeing all the mountains at a glance, and everything on the ground has become extremely small.

Standing on the edge of the top of the cooling tower, beside him is nearly a hundred meters in the air, and the inside does emit billowing white smoke and a bottomless huge abyss, which looks particularly terrifying, like a huge endless abyss.

Not long after, Wu Lei and Wang Zitao also climbed up, standing on a high place, the messy wind, and endless white smoke.

Lin Yumai stared at the passage inside the cooling tower, as if he could penetrate it.

"Brother Mai, you don't want to go in and find Sister Zirou, this kind of place shouldn't be possible. Wang Zitao said in shock.
